Kagurazaka is a prominent neighborhood of Tokyo that was once one of Edo’s main hubs for geisha, teahouses, and all sorts of entertainment! Back then, the streets hustled and bustled both during the day and during the night, and while this is still true today, the face of Kagurazaka did change over time. Now, atmospheric French cafés and nostalgic restaurants dominate the area but its geisha history can still be discovered in every nook and cranny. Taking a slow, relaxed walk through Kagurazaka, from Shinjuku’s Okubo Street to Sotobori Street, will show you an entirely different side of the Tokyo from the one you might know!

Shinto is the faith practised by the Japanese since long ago to worship all the deities of heaven and earth. Its origin is as old as the history of the country. After Buddhism was introduced in the 6th century, people started to call their original religion ‘Shinto,’ which means ‘Kami Way’ (Deities’ Way), as they realised the difference between their indigenous religion and the newly introduced one. Since then, Shinto has developed, accepting the influence of foreign religions centering around Buddhism, but without changing its essential character, that of worshipping mythical deities as well as the spirits of the people’s own ancestors. There are about eighty thousand Shinto shrines throughout Japan nowadays, and they are playing an important role in the community life of the Japanese in keeping alive the traditional aspects of Japan.
